I'm only just starting to try out this program, so I'm just following some tutorials but I'm already having problems, haha!

This is my event:



Note the four lines after the first comment. I'm trying to set those variables to the player's and the event's coordinates. I've got a text box that pops up when it's done setting them that should display all the variables, however...



Well that's not right.

I know I'm doing something wrong but I don't know what.

Hi,

When using the "Control Variables" command, you should usually select a "Single" variable from the top box, not a "Variable" variable.

When you select a "Single" variable, the variable you selected is modified.

When you select a "Variable" variable, the variable whose ID is stored in the variable you selected is modified instead.

That is also the difference between the "Variable" (= Single) and "Variable ID" (= Variable) option from the bottom box.

A-ha! Thanks so much! That's exactly what it was. :guffaw:

That's a mistake I'll only have to make once! Glad I got that out of the way early. BD

Couple hours of work. Might use in my game as a secret find or something. Not sure. Fancy though no? :D
Holy stink, where have I been? Well, I started my temporary job this week. So less time to spend on game design... :(
Cartoonier cloud cover that better fits the art style, as well as (slightly) improved blending/fading... fading clouds when there are larger patterns is still somewhat abrupt for some reason.
